The Spring Cleaning as Told by Queen Crosspatch

In this delightful short story by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the cantankerous old Queen Crosspatch is forced to confront her own stubbornness and stinginess during a spring cleaning episode at her castle. With humor and warmth, Burnett explores the transformative power of generosity and kindness.
